It's a cool breath of fresh air for X-Fans, while paradoxically feeling more like a classic X-Men read than most X-titles currently on the shelves, and that's no easy feat.

I wanted to enjoy this much more than I did. Didn't like the character designs at all and the O-M-G outbursts make this title feel dated already. Bobby deserves better! I preferred the younger version of Iceman, and wanted the comic to be about him and his boyfriend just hanging out instead.

I love that Iceman is gay. And I love how f*cking powerful Bobby is. And that he knows it and what responsibility comes with that. And of course, his powers are so pretty to look at, perfect for the comic format. Drawing lines from his experience being a mutant to coming out as gay totally makes sense and it would have been a shame if it wasn’t explored that way. The art overall is fine, but sometimes too rough with tiny and eyes and over pronounced wrinkles.

This is getting cancelled, isn't it? Because it features someone who isn't a straight, white, cisgender male. And it's good. So good. Marvel has to kill the good books.
Bobby Drake, most boring X-Man. I never got him. He wasn't the funniest character, Emma couldn't make him interesting, I don't hold any special love for the OG 5 that aren't Cyclops, and it bothered me that his age kept changing. That was before there was a second one and they were both questionably outed. But here Bobby shows more depth and struggles with things I've never seen him think about. What does being a hero mean? Who is he? How does "normal" life fit into his life? And what do you do when your younger, time-displaced self has it more together than you do? This Bobby is likable and I want to see more of him. I don't think I will (see the first paragraph) and that's too bad. This is a different kind of coming-out narrative and a fun superhero story.

first of all why is Mr Sinister's head in a floating bubble on the cover of this volume when he makes nary an appearance in this book, I was so intrigued to see wtf he's been up to
That aside--I'm not the most up-to-date on all the X-books so I had a little bit of a learning curve for following some of the side stories here, but then, when is that not the case?
I liked this fine, it's good to see Bobby dealing with some of his issues, and I'm interested to see where it goes from here. I also really liked Kitty Pryde's sensible-but-justifiably-angry vibe here.

A really good story with some great covers, but unfortunately the art is pretty bad for most of it.
